Who buys it for consumption? NOT ONE in a THOUSAND. This FACT alone should open the eyes of the public to the principal purpose for which it is so ex t ens i ve l y use d ; v i z.—t h e ADULTERATION of FOREIGN BRANDY. Hence the great Importance of purchasing FOREIGN BRANDY of such houses alone as offer a reasonable assurance of its genuineness. This con sideration induces JOHN STEVENS, of 15, BROAD-STREET, BLOOMSBURY, to call the pnblic attention to the facts : First --That he neither Buys nor Sells British Brandy. Second —That he neither Buys nor Sells any inferior description of Foreign Brandy. Third —That the only Brandy he does Sell or Buy, is the very Choicest Old Foreign Cognac and Champagne Brandies.

SOLOMONS, OPTICIAN to the 4e Royal Eye Infirmary, patentee o f th e A m b er S pectac l es, 36, OLD BOND-STREET (nearly opposite the western Ixellange), whose recently invented and highly approved SPEC- I'ACLES may be adapted to the various circumstances of indivi dual cases appertaining to defective vision. Whilst these Specta cles excel all others, as regards their very superior refractive pro- Pqt3 , and their comparative lightness, they possess the further ad vantage of modifying bright and strong light, which, at the same time, is transmitted through the various humours of the eye, so as tender vision most perfectly distinct, conveying also a sense of cool ness and pleasure to the organ, with the additional equally impor tant recommendation of being FREE from the pernicious attributes of commo n glasses ; in short, the qualities of Mr. Solomon's Spec tacles admirably adapt them to afford ease and comfort, by protect ing and strengthening the eyes, and to extend to vision the most decided and instantaneous relief that art can accomplish.

MONEY MARKET. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Exchequer Bills are now at a premium almost without a precedent in the annals of the finances of this country. The present interest upon them is 2, d. per day, which is an annual interest of 31. 16s.W. for 100/., being considerably above the interest paid by the - Government upon the funded debt. A very slight degree of calculation upon the comparative state of the funded and floating debt will show any holder of Exche quer bills that it is a state of things which our Government in its duty to the people cannot possibly allow much longer to exist, as Exchequer Bills arc much better securities than any other part of the national debt, as the capital contained in them cannot be lessened, and is certain to be paid in full to the holders, at the time at which the bills may expire. Con sols, on the contrary, are securities which the Government is not bound to redeem, and there is in consequence no guarantee whatever against a fall in the value of the stock of the whole funded debt, and therefore Exchequer Bills are a preferable investment, at a rate of interest lower than the public securities, in Which the capital is ro much less sure. Amidst this state of things it is clear that the Government is not required to continue to pay any interest which is so much too high upon Exchequer Bills ; but, on the contrary, it is the unquestionable duty of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to take measures for the reduction of the interest upon the whole floating debt. There is no profit whatever to the Government from a high premium upon Exchequer Bills, and all that the Treasury has to attend to in the matter is to take care that the interest paid he sufficient to keep the Government paper in credit, rind at or above par; and the higher the premium may ascend the more the interest shOuld be reduced, on the principle of national economy, by which the nation should derive the benefit of its own credit in the monetary world. The rise in the interest which took place in November 1836, was owing to the depreciation of the floating debt to a discount of several shillings per cent. ; and though the Government was not compelled to pay higher interest in consequence of the fall in price, it was judged expedient to do so in order to relieve the distress and pressure upon the Money Market at the time. At the present period, however, the whole state of affairs has been entirely changed. Money is su perabundant ; and from a discount Exchequer Bills have as cended to a premium of nearly 31. per cent., being therefore capable of a reduction of interest to a very considerable extent. Indeed, in the present state of the Money Market there is no doubt that the floating debt would find pur chasers and be maintained above par at a very mode rate rate of interest, and which would, in all probability, se cure it from discount for the space of at least one year, during which period it is scarcely possible that any pressure for money can arise, or that the present accumulation in the vaults of the Bank of England can be seriously diminished. Ac cordingly the interest upon Exchequer Bills will be probably re duced from the sth of April next to sonic extent; probably to the old rate of I,W. per day ; for the Chancellor of the Exchequer has very judiciously reserved to himself the power of effecting the reduction at that time, should the Money Market render it expedient, as holders may remember, from the tenor of the Treasury advertisement of November last. That the reduction will and ought to be effected at the expira tion of the current half-year is apparent, not more from the state of the Money Market, and the needlessly high premium upon Exchequer Bills, than from the extreme saving of re venue which the reduction would effect. The whole floating debt is usually about 54,000,0001. ; but allowing that 50,000,0001. be the amount upon which interest is paid at the rate of 31. 16s. oi-d. per year, it follows that the present pay ment of interest is 1,900,0001. per annum ; whereas by the re duction of the interest to lid. per day, or 21. ss. 7id. per annum, the payment would be only 1,140,0001,, being a saving to the country of the sum of 760,000/. per year. From a ll thi s i t is clear that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has the right to do so • and as a man of intelligenc e i n finance, and as a faithful steward of the taxes of the country, must be supposed to have it fully us view to effect the reduction, by which a sum of more than three quarters of a million can be saved, from the expiration of the present financial half-yearly term. We present these views to the public as useful because brought forward in time ; for as the intentions of the Government are yet unknown, and two months of the present bills are yet unexpired, there is an opportunity for reflection upon the wisdom or folly of driv ing up the market for the floating debt to prices which so sud denly and extensively may be changed by the announcement of the intentions of the Government to effect a reduction of the interest upon the floating debt. (From the Times.) • The supineness of the Ministry in all that relates to the trading interests of the country is an evil of which complaints are to be heard on all sides in every commercial community. That glaring instance of the proposed large increase of the duty on linens and yarns by the French Government, and which has been already adverted to, is giving rise to very irritated feelings all over the manufacturing districts. The measure of the French Government has one feature which carries with it the absolute determination to injure our commerce as much as possible, since it is intended to exempt the yarns and linens of Belgium from the increased duties, if Belgium will consent to lay the same high duties on the yarns and linens of England. The proposed increase, it will be recollected, is from 10 to 15 per cent. ad valorem above the pre sent duties on yarns, and from 40 to 50 , per cent. on manufactured linens,—duties which will be nearly Fohi bitory. It is the opinion of the French mercantile houses that the proposed increase has the sanction of the Government, and that it will be carried into effect. On the faith, however, that the old duty would not be disturbed, an immense amount of British capital has been laid out in mills and mltchinery for the improvement of this branch of manufacture for the supply of the French market. The num. ber of persons employed in it is also very great. In Leeds alone there were 7,000 or 8,000 hands thus engaged. Dun dee and Belfast also spin linen yarns for French consumption. An eminent manufacturer from Belfast, writing on this sub ject says--.." The French are not satisfied with laying a prohi bitory duty on linen yarns, but are making terms with their neighbours in the Netherlands to induce them to do the same. This would be most injurious to the North of England, the East of Scotland, and the North of Ireland; and if the Mi nistry pass it over they will prove themselves the weakest, as well as the most wicked set of men that ever watched the des tinies of a commercial nation." By the advices from Hamburg the price o f gold is 434 per mark, which,- at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10 d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 91 ; and the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13. 101, it follows that gold is 0.35 per cent. lower at Hamburg than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 81,- per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. lqd. the ounce for stan dard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 3Gb ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25. 50, it follows that gold is 0 54 per cent. lower at Paris than in London. The price of sovereigns at New York is 4.95, which estab lishes a par of exchange in paper of 111.37 per cent. The course of exchange at New York on London is from 1091, to 110, which gives a mean of 1091 per cent. It therefore fol lows that the exchange is 1.62 per cent. against England. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, FEE. 6. BAKER V. WINDER. Upon a motion to dissolve a common injunction, which was heard a few days ago, a singular question of copyhold law, which has lately been before the Court of Queen's Bench, was agitated. A devisee of copyholds died before admission, having enjoyed the property during his life, and devised it to persons, one of whom was, with another person, his coheir. The heir of the original devisee then brought an ejectment, and recovered a moiety of the property. The present Bill was then filed to restrain execution, and to have it declared that the heir of the original devisor was a trustee merely for the devisee and his heirs. His HONOUR this morning would continue the injunction, because, at any rate, there was a question to be argued, whether, on the true view of the case, the heir of the devisor was not a trustee for the devisee. COURT OF Q UEEN'S BENCH, FEB. G. sTEEVENS V. ARCHER. Mr. FILE stated that this was an action of slander. The plaintiff was an artists' colourman, residing in St. Martin's lane, and the defendant was a boot and shoemaker, residing in the same place. Both of them had been in the habit of meet ing at a public-house kept by a Mr. Sydserff. They had for merly been on friendly terms with each other, but at last some dispute, into which it is not necessary to enter, had arisen be tween them, and the defendant had thought fit to utter slan derous expressions of the plaintiff. These expressions did not impute to him any immorality, but they tonded to injure him in his credit and business, and they had, in one instance at least, produced that effect. After hearing evidence, the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. LIVERPOOL cpTTON MARKET, FEB. 5.

Sunderland Herald. SURREY SESSIONS- TUESDAY. (Before Mr. HEDGER and a Bench of Ma istrates.) James Clarke, a young man, formerly in the employ of a newsvender, was indicted for stealing .a sill from a baker's shop, containing a quantity of loose silver and halfpence. The CHAIRMAN sentenced the prisoner to seven years' trans portation. Peter Laurie, a sharp-visaged man, was indicted for steal ing a bridle, the property of Mr. Grove, a saddler and bar nessmaker in the Blackfriar's-road. About eleven o'clock in the morning the prisoner was seen to walk up to the prosecutor's shop door, at which several saddlery articles were hanging. The prisoner unhooked a. bridle from amongst the articles, and clapping it under his arm, began to make away at a quick rate, when he was stopped and the bridle taken from him, and he was given into custody. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to three months' hard labour at Brixton. A man named Jackson was tried and cunvicted of stealing a pair of boots from a shoemaker's shop in Bermondsey. The offence having been proved, the prosecutor, in answer to a question from the chairman, said that the pr'Auner had been tried and found guilty at a late Sessions at the Contral Cri minal Court of a similar offence to the case for which he was now indicted. Under those circumstances the Court sentenced the prisoner to be transported for seven years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. For some days the LORD MAYOR has been ccougi,cd in in vestigating the circumstances of an extet.sive silk robbery committed upon the premises of Mr. Edward Fellowes, of Broad-street. The robbery was effected by the assistance'of. ,some of the most skilful cracksmen of the metropolis. Alder man WHITE and several other gentlemen connected with the silk trade attended during the examinations. of which we give a compendious account below. Mr. , Nobler, jun., , was em ployed for the prosecution, and Mr. Charles Phillips and Mr. Clarkson, the barristers, and Mr. Wontner, the solicitor, at tended for some of the prisoners, who, in consequence of the remarkable nature of the case, were one alter the other sepa rately examined. The first person placed at the bar was a lad, nearly eighteen years of age, but of very small size, and youth ful appearance named William Sherman. William Fisher, a man in the employment of Mr. Fel lowcs, on the 15th or January, at six o'clo,k in the even ing, left the counting-house, having rec•_ived the keys from the porter of the cellar, where he considered everything was safe. In the warehouse, which was the cellar, to the en trance to which there were three there was a large quantity of different sorts of silk, and at eight o'clock he was informed that the door was open. Upon going to the build ing he found that thieves had entered by means of picklocks, and carried away a considerable quantity of good. It was evident that they had been disturbed, for they had left behind a lot of silks which they had put together, With the view of taking them away. A skeleton key was found in one of the locks, and an old camlet cloak with a fur collar was lying near the fireplace. In the passage, near the ball door, there was found a large cane-stick. Witness knew the boy at the bar, and his father. The boy had been in the employment of Mr. Fellowes as an errand-boy up to October last, and had had access to the warehouse continually ; but Mr. Fellowes bad recommended him to another situation. Witness saw the boy in the warehouse on the Ist or 2d of January, and was told by him that he was in the employment of a hatter in the Bo rough, for he did not go to the place provided for him by Mr. Fellowes. Peter Richardson, porter to Mr. Fellowes, saw the boy in the warehouse on the 2d of January. Mr. Edward Fellowes, the owner of the property, stated that the boy had been in his employment, but having no occa sion for his services; he recommended him to a gentleman in Aldermanbury, on account of his capabilities and apparent good qualities. On the evening of the 31st. of January, wit ness was sent for to the Mansion-house, as the boy had been brought from Oxfordshire on suspicion of having been con cerned in the robbery. Witness upon arriving at the Man sion-house was told that the boy would say nothing to the officers, but wished to see him. Witness then went, accom panied by Mr. Pearson, his frienk, with whom the prisoner had previously lived, into the officer's room, and told the boy that he might say what he pleased, but he need not say any thing except he wished it. The boy then stated that he bad been in the warehouse a great part of the clay on the 2d of January, and that the porter had locked him up two or three times on that day. He contrived whiie in the warehouse to get impressions of all the keys, in wax, v, hieh was gig en to him by one of the accomplices in the robbery, with directions how to take the impressions. He then mentioned the name of the person who made the skeleton keys with which the doors were openek named other parties who were concerned, and amongst them his own father; and said that they came to the house at half-past five o'clock in the evening. Here the boy said, " Do you mean that I shall be a prisoner or a witness if I co••.firm the account ?" The LORD MAYOR—I shall hold out no promise to you. You can exercise your own common sense. The boy—lf I an't to be a witness, shall I be a prisoner? Mr. nobler, jug.—Certainly, unless you procure good bail. Mr. Fellowes then proceeded —The b:;y stated, that when they came down Broad -street, seeing a light in the connting house they walked about ; and on their return, seeing that the light was out, they rang the bell, and that not being answered they judged that all were gone from the counting-house, and then they rang the hell of an office up stairs, belonging to an other party, and then the door being opervd by a party from above they entered. They then opened the door with the skeleton keys, and began to pull the silks out of the cupboards, the boy pointing at those of best quality. They had brought some bags with them, which the boy had made of pieces of wrapper, and they filled them with silk, and also took part of a bale which lay in the cellar. They then thought they heard some one coming down, aed. two or three of them scrambled out in a hurry. They also heard a horse in the street, which greatly frightened them. They had brought a spring cart with them from the west end of the town, and they ctrected that it should wait in Finsbury-square till it should be wanted. The boy concluded by stating that he was sent off to the coun try next morning. Mr. Hobler, jun., said that he did not propose to produce any further evidence at present as to the boy. The boy then said he bad nothing to say at all. Joseph Sherman, the father of the boy, was then ordered the bar, and Mr. Fellovt es' statement was read over to ti He declared that he never was at the place in his life. The prisoners were then remanded. BOTV-STREET.

Yesterday William lVarford, a shoemaker was brought be fore Mr. Greenwood. On Monday evening the prisoner en tered the Bell public-house, kept by Mr. John Fenwick, in Ratcliffe-highway, and called for a pint of beer, over which he sat for nearly an hour, and then called for a quartern of gin. After partaking of the gin with some strumpets in the room without paying for what he had, he endeavoured to bilk the landlord by climbing over some premises in the rear; but, in doing so, he fell upon a skylight over the taproom, and broke it in, and was only saved from falling through by cringing to part of the framework, by which he remained suspended for some time. On extricating himself he (limbered over the roof of the building, and dislodged the tiles, which fell down one after the other, and created a g eat noise. Ho succeeded at last in clearing this dlfficalty, and, after hav ing knocked down the top of the wall in the rear of Mr. Fenwick's premises, he -dropped into the yard of an adjoin ing .house. Here he supposed all his difficulties were et an end, but, to his dismay, he was seized by the landlord of the house, who detained him, and gave him into the custody of a policeman, on suspicion of getting into the yard with intent to break open the house. His real intention, that of cheat ing Mr. Fenwick of his reckoning, was soon ascertained, and he was locked up. The prisoner, in defence, said while he was in the Bell he purchased a pair of braces, and, on putting his hands into his pockets to pay the reckoning, he found all his money was gone, a fact of which he was not before aware, and he thought the best thing he could do was to " bolt the moon." Mr. GREENWOOD held that the prisoner had committed a wilful breaking of the publican's skylight, and sentenced him to pay the sum of 505., the value ther eo f. In d e f au lt h e coin mittcd the cobler to the House of Correction for 14 days. At the Marquis of Chandos' late disti►►guished party at Wooton the shooting was excellent and the game abundant. The return of game killed during the three days' hattue amounted to 556 hares, 218 pheasants, 122 rabbits, and 15 partridges, making a grand total of 911 head. . „ IVIURDER.—We regret to state, that, on the night of Tuesday last, a most barbarous murder was committed in a hut, near Bolton, on the body of a poor man named James Finney, a brickmakcr by trade, but who, being in bad health end unable to work, has for the lost twelve months or so gone about the country, subsisting chiefly on the charity of persons belonging to his own business. It would appear, that he had entered this hut for shelter ; and whilst tllixe, had been at tacked by some one, and murdered w ith a collier 's pick. The body a m e was drr discovered hogas I, ada i l jeary, , a l y Ndnntei wanting ashovel sdi y morn tothrow i n g, b y a man some coals under the steam-boiler, went into the cabin to look for it, and there discovered the deceased lying on his back in a large pool of blood, dead,• with his head and face frightfully disfigured, and the pick under his legs. Circumstances soon caused suspicions to be entertained of a young man named Sherrington, who worked at. the colliery in qu-Ftion. and lie was taken into custody the same morning. --Illancht:stet Guardian.
